Many people might remember Styx from many of the RPs i've joined. This is the story of his life before being banished on earth.
Chapter 1: The beginning.
The River Styx flowed through the underworld, the black water creating a sense of fear and darkness, and striking passerbys with terror. A woman, not too old, and yet not too young, at that moment was sitting on the bank. She screamed out in pain for she was in labor, and a wanted woman at the same time. In the east, her father, Hades ruled over his half of the underworld. In the west, her master, The Overlord, who was the most terrifying thing this woman had ever saw. No one had ever seen his face. Darkness always seemed to fill the room when he came, and a chill was sent down everyone's spine who stood in his presence. The crimson aura that flowed throughout his half made oblivion become better than death. The lava pits that were throughout his half screamed with the thousand burning souls who perished there. The screams were similar to that of the woman. And she felt the underworld shake as a baby was born. She heard the souls gasp in fright, the lava pits spewing out fire. And she knew, born now was a child with great power. She held the baby in her arms and smiled at him. The one thing that gave her joy in a long time was resting in her arms, sleeping solemnly. She wanted to name him a name that would be remembered. A name that would fear all who heard it. She looked beside her at the river, and imediately after she whispered, "Styx". Then, she sensed it. The dark underworld seemed to get darker. The chill that went down her spine, and the crimson aura that appeared, moving towards her. She stood up and turned to run, but she couldn't move, and in a second, she dropped to the ground, dead. The Overlord walked towards the dead body that lay on the ground and pushed it into the river, releasing a soul as the body slowly disappeared. He looked down at the baby and smiled. But twas not a sweet smile. It was a smile of darkness and evil. "Perhaps, you can be of use to me...Styx"
